Fruity Loops:
This piece of software is great especially for beginners although it is also used by advanced music producers.  Although Fruity Loops is a standalone program it also gives you the option to add VST instruments and plug-ins. In fact there are so many different things that you can add to Fruity Loops that it is a very powerful music production programme in itself. A lot of music producers frown at this software but believe me when I tell you that hit records are produced in Fruity Loops every single day.

Reason:
This is probably one of the best pieces of software simply for the reason that every single sample that you get with the software is 100% perfect. This software is usually used by more advanced music producers and people that already have a good idea how to go about making music. The sound that can be achieved with this piece of software is absolutely astonishing and is of a high enough quality for radio play. The only problem with this software is that it doesn’t give the ability to add VST Instruments and Plug-Ins. However it is possible to add samples to NNXT and Redrum.

Logic Pro:
This piece of software was developed by Apple and is probably one of the most used pieces of recording software in the industry. The software is used in pretty much every single record studio around the world and since its release has become almost a standard in music production. This software allows you to record instruments, record vocal tracks, add VST Instruments and Plug-ins all within this one single program. This means you don’t have to open multiple programs to do different jobs and create one full track.

ProTools:
Much like Logic Pro, Protools is also an industry standard and is used by many producers that need to record live performances and live instruments. Like Logic Pro, Protools also allows you to do almost anything you need all from within the program and can support almost anything you have in mind. Although it is basically the world’s best music production software it does come at quite a hefty price and before you make your decision on which piece of music production software to purchase you should take this into consideration and check it out.

This software is very straightforward and comfortable to use. It has pretty much everything you could need from a piece of beat making software and has quite a few features that you would only normally see in a lot more expensive beat making programs.  When you are working in Fruity Loops is gives you the ability to rework your existing projects into many different files sorts and upload them to numerous and distinctive platforms. There program is extremely flexible and caters to your needs exceedingly well.

The Fruity Loops beat maker allows you to mix your tracks when they are finished and even cross reference every single one of your vocals and beats. While managing to do this, the Fruity Loops software will also continue to give you a professional top quality sound throughout the entire process.

The fruity Loops studio is a standalone program that doesn’t require any other software to create spectacular and professional sounding beats. It also allows you to create music in almost any genre you like and manages to pull off a professional sound for each one.

The idea behind Fruity Loops is that it can give you the ability to create and share music without needing to create any code. You will have almost all the tools that the professional music producers have at your fingertips and at a fraction of the cost. Fruity loops features up to sixty four simultaneous audio tracks which will allow you to create almost any idea you can think of.

Another concept that the Fruity Loops studios features is the ability to load instrument plug-ins. This gives you even more freedom to create exactly what you want and allows even more possibilities. This ability is usually only seen in much more expensive beat making programs such as Cubase and Protools.

Overall Fruity Loops is a great program and we would highly recommend it if you want to learn how to create your own beats. The programs interface is nicely designed and it easy to navigate through the many menus that the program has. Not only is this program well priced but it will also deliver very professional results giving you clear vocals and clear instrument tracks.

We highly recommended that you download a demo version of this program immediately and we are sure that you will be just as amazed at the product as we are. If you like then product then you can easily update your demo to the full version for a very small sum.

The Sequencer:

The sequencer will be one of the main and most important parts of the program that you will use, no matter which program you choose to buy. The sequencer is the part of the software that you will use to create your own beats and lay your track onto. Two of the most popular programs out there that are used mainly by hip-hop producers are Reason and Fruity Loops. Fruity Loops comes in 3 different versions and the features vary slightly depending on which version you choose, but so does the price also. We recommend that you have at least the Fruity Edition as the Fruity Loops Express Edition cannot be used as a standalone sequencer and will require other software in order to use it. In our opinion Fruity Loops offers the best value for money being only $149 whereas Reason is $499. Obviously Reason gives you the better sequencer but if you’re looking for value for money or are on a tight budget then Fruity Loops is the way to go.

The Sound Editor:

The function of a sound editor is to edit wave files, which is very useful in sample based production. Sample based production is basically where you would chop up a variety of records and then make an entirely new song out of it. Some of the best and most popular sound editors available at the moment are Adobe Audition, Propellerhead’s Recycle, and Sony’s Sound Forge. As with the sequencer there isn’t technically one of the programmes which is the best, it is all down to your preference. Personally, we think that Adobe Audition is one of the best we have used so far and retails at $349. There is also a sound editor in Fruity Loops Producer Edition if you are working on a tight budget.
